The Satsuma Smash

This Satsuma cocktail is the perfect dash of Christmas in your cocktail glass!

satsuma cocktail-1I love a good backyard winter fire, and this is the perfect cocktail to go with it! Bundled up in your toques and boots, fresh snow all around, the crackling sound of the fire with your satsuma cocktail in hand: perfection! Now is the time to treat yourself to this one. Keep in mind, these oranges are only in season from November to January.

This cocktail is the perfect kick-off to a date-night in! For dinner try Dietician Emily Mardell’s Alberta Beef Short Rib Ravioli With Brown Butter and Crispy Sage!

satsuma cocktail-2Satsumas

These beautiful oranges from Japan touch down in North American grocery stores just before the holidays. They typically don’t ripen until fall or early winter, so they’ve traditionally been associated with Christmas. The only grocery store near us that had them by early November was Freson Bros. In my opinion, they’re a step-up from the Mandarin oranges from China, packing a bit more flavour punch.

Sunday’s Whiskey

This amazing whiskey is made in Japan but has a Canadian connection. Of the five innovators of Sunday’s Whiskey, four are from Alberta!

An authentically Japanese, world blend whisky that expands the universe of whisky lovers & Japanophiles. Sunday’s Whisky is crafted in small batches and made from world grain spirits that is distilled twice and barrel-aged for three to nine years at cask strength. The whisky is blended before adding the pristine, alkaline water from the nearby springs of Koriyama. The result is a more round, viscous mouthfeel with soft, slightly sweet undertones.

satsuma cocktail-4

You’ll Need:

  • Two ounces of Sunday’s Whiskey
  • Six satsuma wedges, sliced in half
  • One ounce of Satsuma Ginger Syrup
  • Orange peel garnish, gently twisted
  • One lemon slice, cut in half
  • Big square ice cube

Directions:

  • Muddle the satsuma wedges and lemon.
  • Add muddled mixture to a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Pour in two ounces of Sunday’s Whiskey.
  • Pour in one ounce of Satsuma Ginger Syrup.
  • Shake what your mama gave you for about 20-30 seconds (one way to tell your shaking time is adequate – your cocktail shaker will have a lightly frosted layer on the outside.
  • Strain into a rocks glass with a big square ice cube.
  • Garnish with a gently twisted orange peel.

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
